♩ = 120 BPM = The speed of the Grammy

Definition

According to statistics, the speed that has won more Grammy prizes trough history is: ♩ = 120 BPM, of course, with a time signature of 4/4.

It's a simple formula

   BMP = X * BarsPM

The standard speed for the bar would then be

♩ = 120 BMP = BMP at 1/4 = 120 x 4 = 30 Bars per minute (BarsPM)

Example

Where X is the time signature (3, 4, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, etc.)

¿What speed of the beat (BPM) would other time signatures have at 30 BarsPM?

3/4: ♩ = 90 BPM

4/4: ♩ = 120 BPM

5/4: ♩ = 150 BPM

6/8: ♪ = 180 BPM

7/8: ♪ = 210 BPM

11/8: ♪ = 330 BPM

13/16: 1/16 = 390 BPM

17/16: 1/16 = 510 BPM

It most be understood that the resolution definition (1/4, 1/8 or 1/16) is arbitrary and it is defined with the purpose of comfort while writing a sheet of music, and generally es just the power of 2 which is closer to the time signature.
